JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 24 - Online Learning

Is online learning an effective way to educate students? No! I feel this way because in a classroom it is easier for students to learn at their own pace whether they are faster or slower. Many students learn differently in different AREAS of education and with a teacher guiding them many adults and parents feel they could reach their full potential. Also, going to school and being social with other kids your age DIFFERENTIATES from only taking online classes and not being around any other people throughout the whole course. When you're around other students it is easier to ask for help if you need it and there are more people one can use for resources. One last reason people may think online learning is not effective on students is if assigned a project online and a student needs help with the directions no one would be there to help them in their time of need. In a real classroom a teacher is better able to CLARIFY directions and steps for a successful project. Online learning may be good for seniors in high school or college students but for those who have yet to learn a lot of things I think most people would say that the students are better off in a regular school where they can be reach their full potential.
